Samuel Hannah, East Kilbride, said: “I’m prepared to go to the bottom tier of Scottish football. Faceless men have decided they want the Rangers supporters’ cash but they hate our club. I’d rather go to the Third Division than give them the money.”

“If we can’t sign players we won’t have a team capable of overcoming a further points deduction. So we could get relegated anyway.”

David McMillan, Uddingston, said: “Rangers would be better off starting again in the Third Division.

“How could we compete with no team, a transfer embargo and a points deduction? It is madness and ludicrous to suggest we could. We would end up in the First Division within a season and many clubs, chairmen and fans would get their wish.”

Robert Wendrum, Manchester, said: “I read Jim Traynor’s article in the Daily Record and almost burst out crying. The real Rangers fans want to build from scratch in the Third Division.

“I don’t want to be put through the agony of a weakened Rangers team not being able to compete in the SPL and losing to the likes of Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs on a regular basis. As for Old Firm games, they would be a walkover for Celtic and the Rangers supporters have suffered enough punishment.”

But Hoops fans certainly don’t think their bitter rivals have been punished enough for their crimes.

And Graham Maloney, Glasgow, said: “What is the point of playing if the six-point plan is accepted?

“Scottish football will have sold the lifeblood of the game – the fans – down the river if a newco Rangers are allowed to play in the SPL next season.”

Hoops fan Martin Leggatt, e-mailed: “Why should Celtic have to pay for the sins of Rangers? Why should Celtic lose voting rights and loss of revenue?

“Celtic did nothing wrong as Rangers brought down Scottish football and now others have to pay.”

Lance Little, Erskine, said: “Scottish football has one day to prove it is not a crooked organisation run for the benefit of one club – namely Rangers.

“The fans, the clubs, UEFA and FIFA want to see them punished in line with the crimes but the hierarchy here are dragging their heels trying to avoid it.”

Fred Williams said: “Only Rangers could devise a plan that helps them and weakens Celtic.

“The Hoops fans must take action.

“I call for a ban on all away teams for next season. The fans should watch the reserves when we have a game on the road and that will keep our cash at our club.”

James Burke, Coatbridge, said: “Green has a brass neck coming up with this six-point plan.

“Celtic will lose more money and voting rights because Rangers cheated and broke the rules.

“Celtic lost out on titles and millions of pounds in potential Champions League money and yet clubs are being asked to vote Rangers back into the SPL. It is absolutely scandalous.”

Jim Kerr, Renfrew, said: “Only in this country could we devise a rescue plan that sees a club like Celtic being punished for the misdemeanours and crimes of Rangers.”

Eddie Wilson e-mailed: “Ally McCoist called for the SFA judicial panel to be exposed after the embargo.

“Now we are talking about holding secret ballots for the SPL chairmen’s vote. The whole sorry affair stinks.”

Michael Emonds, Northampton, said: “Super Ally weeks ago called for transparency in the game with regards to the naming of the SFA Judicial Panel and now there are calls for a secret ballot on the newco vote.”

Robert Bain, Motherwell, said: “Scottish football will suffer no matter how the clubs vote. The Celtic supporters will never forgive any club that votes yes to a newco.”

That view was backed up by our final two callers.

Ian Graham, Saltcoats, said: “I will not go back to watch Scottish football if Rangers are allowed back into the SPL.”

And Kevin Kane, Denny, said: “If Rangers are voted back into the SPL I will not put another penny into Scottish football.”
